I have for sale two pairs of Chinese Ringneck Pheasants. These birds are 8 months old .
Will breed this year. Good quality birds, fairly quiet.
Nicely coloured once fully matured. Becoming hard to find around Sydney.
The Chinese Ringneck breed have the most contrasting colours of all ‘True’ pheasants. As with other pheasants, the male is brightly coloured while the female has much plainer markings.
Male. The head and neck of the male is bluish-green with a distinct white collar around the neck. The centre of the breast is a rich purplish-red, the sides are lighter and the flanks are pale yellow with large black markings. Tail feathers are olive yellow with broad black crossbars.
Female. The female has crown barred black and brown neck feathers, with chestnut borders. Breast and back feathers are mottled with a blackish-brown centre. The abdomen is pale brown. The tail feathers are marked with black and buff close wavy lines.
Egg production is an important consideration in selecting breeding stock. The number of eggs produced in a season varies with the strain, and may be as low as 20 per hen or as many as 130 per hen.
Average egg production is about 50 per hen.
Selling for $150 per pair.
